I have repeated issues with polyester, seems to conflict with my nvidia graphic card or something like that
(previous version were conflicting with openoffice, 9.3 caused lots of freezes).
Anyway , gtk is much ahead in vista-like styiles:

I hate to have to admit this, but without
arthur/cairo we still lack the functions
to do things like gradient+glass menubars

or the streaks along the window background

but it don't smell like it. lol

Yeh microsoft sux but If you want to skin up your kde go ahead. It's fun. Some people whine about it but I think using opensource and linux then skinning it like microsoft is kinda like flipping the middle finger to microsoft. If you try the reverse to make XP look like Linux kde you would have to download s tons of shareware and ad-ware to get it to work. By then your tired ol software would crash under the load.
